| Posted: 31 Dec 2019 02:18 PM PST CLOSE  Uncommon Items, a women's clothing and accessories store, is moving away from Brady Street after 19 years. Uncommon Items owner Judy Kallberg said her business on Brady Street slowed so she is moving her shop to a shared space in Walker's Point in the next few weeks. "Business this last year went down about 50%," Kallberg said. "But then as soon as I put out the moving sign, now business started going really good." Uncommon Items sells an eclectic array of handcrafted jewelry, vintage-inspired dresses, clothing, art and accessories. Uncommon Items is set to leave the 550-square-foot retail store at 1316 E. Brady St. on Sunday. It is having a moving sale until then. Uncommon Items will reopen in the shared retail space Third Point of View, at 1134 S. First St. Kallberg already has one stand there selling furniture and artwork. The new space is around half the size of Uncommon Items' current store, which Kallberg opened in 2000. Kallberg said she chose to move to Third Point of View so she won't have to be at the store all the time. She also works at Milwaukee Area Technical College as a reference librarian. A new tenant for the Brady Street store has not been announced. Sarah Hauer can be reached at shauer@journalsentinel.com or on Instagram @HauerSarah and Twitter @SarahHauer.

| Texas designer crafts chic clothing line for hot, muggy weather - CultureMap Austin Posted: 31 Dec 2019 07:04 AM PST  Texas entrepreneur Kristina Haag found herself struggling with something that many women in Austin can relate to — finding stylish clothing that is comfortable in hot, humid, sticky summer weather. So she created it herself. "With Cotidié, it is all about the functionality of the clothing," says Haag, founder of the clothing line. "It is more traditional items, but the use of technical fabrics is our differentiating factor." The online retailer, which launched this year, offers pieces specifically tailored for women who are up against Texas' hot and humid climate. The line offers dresses, jackets, pants, skirts, and tops, priced between $60 and $200. The fabrics, sourced from Italy and Taiwan, provide breathable comfort, along with an elastic, structured fit for a more tailored look. All items are moisture wicking and machine washable. The line uses three different fabrics: LunAir, 88 percent polyester and 12 percent spandex; SolaSmooth, 73 percent nylon and 27 percent elastane; and StellaForm, 59 percent nylon and 41 percent elastane. "Everything we use on the line is athletic technical fabric that you would typically find in workout attire, but I've repurposed these fabrics to use in a contemporary womenswear line," Haag says. "I wanted to create a more foundational capsule clothing collection that women can draw their own inspiration from." Haag, a Houston native, studied history and business at Rice University before moving to London to attend the British School of Fashion. Following a few years of work at a London-based fashion PR firm, she returned to Texas. Haag was working a corporate job that required extensive job-site visits. "I thought, how is there not more stylish women's clothing on the market that is comfortable and functional," says Haag. The name Cotidié, which means "daily" or "every day," encompasses Haag's desire to create clothing that can be worn at work, for travel, on weekends, and more. Haag was determined to find comfortable professional clothing that held up in heat and humidity and created Cotidié to bridge the gap between technical performance wear and business attire, introducing a new kind of clothing for stylish women on the go. --- Continue reading this story on our sister site, InnovationMap.  |
